ἅγιος
hágios · Greek · Strong's G40 · 233 occurrences
The KJV renders 30 different Hebrew and Greek words as “thing”
What it means
sacred (physically, pure, morally blameless or religious, ceremonially, consecrated)
from (an awful thing) (compare G53 (ἁγνός), G2282 (θάλπω));
How the KJV renders it
holy one, thing, saint
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
